FHM 2 announced!

[Markus Heinsohn]

Hey guys,

we have just announced FHM2 here:

http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...28-2015-a.html

Please head over there for discussions relating to the new version.

By the way, the final game engine patch for FHM 1 has entered final beta testing and will be released in a few days.

Cheers,
Markus

Hi, Markus. Good to hear the FHM 1 patch is coming. Is there a list of fixes and features available?

Well, it features parts of the FHM 2 game engine (not the entire thing, because it uses ratings that FHM does not feature), that's essentially the "only" thing that was added. But, this was tremendous hard work, since Sebastian had to work around the FHM1 limitations to get the new engine running.

Is the eSeller fix in there?

For me, the eSeller fix is the major item. Since steam is not an option for me, on Mac I have not been able to use the game.

I posted a "Hope" thread a few months back based on what had been stated on the thread. How much of this is included in the final patch?

First, the "YES" items:

New Match Engine
eSeller Fix
Graphical cosmetic changes on the game play screen
Enforcer usage and fighting (stated as being a 'work in progress')
Bug fix for coaching records doubling results
Updated 2014-2015 season data
Automatic 2 team expansion with default teams of Quebec and Seattle

Now, the "MAYBE" items:

A "rudimentary" multiplayer
Transfer issues with non-playable leagues resolved
Loading of WHA stats correctly
NHL Playoff format correction
Ability to trade off players when you start with more than 50 on your roster
Fix for the news subscriptions allowing "no news and only PM's"
Button to request a random player name on the editor screen
Increasing the value of draft picks
User selection of shootout participants
Multiple GM's (probably the rudimentary multiplayer)

Admittedly I haven't personally had a chance to test the FHM 2014 patch a lot with all the work I have to do prepping for the FHM 2 release, but I am told the Mac fix is in there too.

Graphic cosmetic changes would obviously be in there too as a result of the new game engine.

There's no specific roster update that I know of coming with the new patch.

As a result of the new engine being in place I do also believe the fighting aspect should be better (as it is a lot better in FHM 2)

There is the basic expansion in there too.

Cool. Thanks for getting back to me, Cole.
